It’s no secret, I love my clients. Like, really love them. Whether they know it or not during our initial client meeting, I’m going to do my best to become friends with them. This past Spring, with the help of Hello Lemon Studio, I threw our Spring Fling Party to show my appreciation for my clients and everyone loved it! So this year when Christmas started to roll around, I wanted to continue to show them how much they truly mean to me. I already send out gifts (which should be arriving in mailboxes this week, ah!!) but I wanted to do more.
The vendors I work with are also SO important to me. They dedicate all of their time to making sure their clients are happy and taken care of. I wanted them to have a night to relax and to not have to worry about anything except having fun! With that, I just knew it was time for another party because seriously, you can never have too many parties. After this realization, the first ever STP Holiday Party was born!
Clients and vendors gathered at my house Saturday evening for a night full of food, wine, and fun! Guests enjoyed yummy macarons and chocolate covered strawberries along with their choice of any type of wine. The Hot Cocoa & Cider Bar was stocked and ready to be enjoyed as well. I opened up every room on the first floor and decorated to the max with all my favorite holiday trimmings. Christmas music played in the background as we laughed and talked all night, not worried about anything other than having fun. It was so great to see all my favorite people enjoying themselves and having a blast!
I could not have thrown this party with help from some of my favorite vendors! Special thanks to Sash & Bow for the lovely decor, Ebb and Flow Flowers for the GORGEOUS floral arrangements, and Cake and Cookie for the delicious macarons. Also, thanks to my fabulous mother who made the amazing chocolate strawberries and helped me clean my entire house to get ready for the party. She is seriously the most incredible woman I’ve ever had the pleasure to know and I’m so lucky to call her mom!
The party was so much fun and the whole night felt magical. I’m so excited to make this an annual tradition!
I am still swooning over this tablescape Sash & Bow and Ebb & Flow Flowers created! I wish my dining room table could always look this good!
A few snapshots of some of my wonderful guests throughout the night. For the most part, I tried to keep my camera turned off during the party so I could really enjoy the time with all my friends. It’s so important to be present in the moment.
I finally had the chance to break out my Christmas themed pillows from Pottery Barn!
The Hot Cocoa & Cider Bar was stocked and ready to go!
Thank you to everyone who could attend this year to make it an awesome evening! You all seriously mean the world to me and I am thrilled to not only call you clients or colleagues, but to also call you my friends.
What a great idea!! I now want to have a Christmas party! Maybe next year! Haha
Wow! This party looked beautiful. Such a great idea. I plan on putting something together similar to this as I grow my client list (I’m just starting). Thank you for sharing.
WOW.
This looks amazing!! Great job on the décor and the hosting! I want to be one of your clients now ;)
I am obsessed with those floral center pieces. In love!!
